    I don't have a Tacoma anymore but I have a 3rd Gen 4Runner. I just purchased a lift kit. Anyone around the Raleigh Durham area have experience installing lift kits that wouldn't mind helping for exchange of pizza and beer?

    I guess I'll have to wait for @RaleighTaco to chime in. A Sonoran Steel lift. Basically tundra springs with bilsteins up front with Land Cruiser springs and tokico shocks in the back.

    We actually just got done with his lift. OME 883(i think that's right) up front and OME 891 in the rear with Billstein 5100 all around. It wasn't too hard except for breaking a bolt and not being able to compress the springs because F$#& Parts store rental spring compressors. Get some PB Blaster and hose down all the bolts, once a day until you install. Also dig the mud out of the shitty designed rear top shock mounting bowls..

    If it HAD been silver that was the plan, but since it was blue I thought it would be risky if I stuck a SSM bumper on it...

    Yea, he's some kind of crazy.

    I've been tempted by the nice fleet of white tacomas that Advance has. Pull a swap on the tailgates?

    I think I had a Silver Streak Mica. Silver Sky Metallic was a newer color than the '06 was offered in. I think my '13 Prius is Silver Sky Metallic. I've used the paint pen for my Prius on the taco and it is a tinge different shade of Silver.

    But yes - I have now swapped for a chrome bumper. :D
